From Morning Report, 6:19 am on 20 March 2020

A Nelson scientist says New Zealand should look to Japan for lessons in how to develop a sense of purpose in a rising tide of panic.

Murray McClintock, his partner and their three children are now isolating themselves at home in Nelson, having returned from Japan a week ago.
